Poorly – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges. Lady Human, why are you flat?

Me: I’m lying down because I’m feeling poorly.

Sweetie: Is “poorly” good?

Me: Not really. Not the worst though.

Sweetie: I’ll feel poorly with you if it will help.

Doodlebug: Me, too.

Me: Aww, thanks, but I think I’ll need to fight this one through. You can pray for me.

MoonCat: Already there.
